NHRA

It means that a driver gets way ahead of the other car, and lets off of the throttle before the finish line, thus running a slower time, than capable. The advantage is a quicker car, racing a slower one.

Rear Engine Dragster (engine behind the cockpit) Cockpit is where the driver sits. Front engine dragster (engine in front of the cockpit) Top fuel Dragster (pro level) Jr. Dragster (for kids ages 8 to 18)

a catapult drags you across the track

2 ways, 1-make friends with someone with a drag racing team. 2-get a car, go to the track, and get some sponsers, congrats you now have a drag team

Larry Dixon was top fuel dragster champion in 2010, finishing the year with 2684 points. He beat 2009 champion Tony Schumacher by 102 points. Dixon won 12 races in 2010, including 3 in the Countdown to the Championship

the IAAF does not require tracks to have exactly 100m straight aways. but on tracks there are starting lines marked and from the 100m start to the common finish is exactly 100m

Aside from a legally sanctioned event, YES, it is generally illegal as well as DANGEROUS.

Tony Schumacher, 2005, 337.58 mph, top fuel dragster,

Assuming you mean production cars, it is the SSC Ultimate Aero at 257 mph+, 0-60 in 2.7 secs. Twin-Turbo V8 Engine with 1183 hp, base price is $654,400. Tested in March 2007 by Guinness world records, The SSC Ultimate Aero takes the lead as the fastest car in the world beating Bugatti Veyron.

In the NHRA people can make between 1 million and 2 million dollars a year....but after paying the crews and everything....probably about 400,000 a year or 500,000 a year. In some semi-pro class's people can make about 50,000 to 100,000 dollars a year, depends on how many races they do

quarter mile gas class

1000 feet all fuel

Anywhere from a couple hundred dollars for a driving uniform and a helmet to drive the car you have in a "run what ya brung" race at a local drag strip, to many millions to set up an operation like Schumacher or Force have.

Most, if not all, of the original strips were no more than abandoned WWII air field runways. I remember running on strips that every once in a while, we had to clear the track and let a plane land. C J 'Pappy' Hart, an old-time promoter, is acknowledged as putting on the first race where he actually charged people to watch the cars run. It was somewhere in southern California in the late '40s. Maybe Fontana.

The engine will consume 22.75 gallons of fuel during warmup, burnout, staging, and the quarter-mile run., actual fuel economy is around 16gals per mile

I have answered this question already, short version: varies from team to team.

Here is the answer else where in the category. There are several schools of thought and facts, many lessor teams average between $30,000 to $50,000, middle range teams $40,000 to $70,000, top teams $60,000 to $90,000, A few even more, but they are the best of the best. This is a hard question to give exactitudes, the team owner(s) and sponsors determine the wages for crew members, with great sponsors comes huge money.

first off, if you want this track for profit then i would find something else to invest in. second its called a drag strip. contact NHRA to be a verifed track and they will tell you the specifications. calculate how much it will be to pave a near 1/2 mile strip. if you want more racers have a good quality/unusuall track. one guy built a strip and the whole track is concrete. that's a good way to atract customers, i would love to drive on a perfectly smooth surface. if your located near Illinois ill sure be coming to your track soon!

To 'chicken out' of any race or show means that the individual has decided not to continue for some reason, usually nerves. This applies to a drag race or any other shows.

All funny car engines are upto 500ci V8 OHV superchargered on alcohol/nitro mix fuel engines "based" on the 426 hemi. All the parts are altered/custom to live at <8,000hp.

There are a few good places to watch a legal drag race in the USA. To name a few, there is Rockingham Dragway, South Georgia Motorsports Park, Cordova Dragway, and Virginia Motorsports Park.

Junior Dragster is a scaled version of the top fuel dragsters. It has a top speed of 85 mph. The cars were first create in New Zealand in 1988. They are used in a league called the JDRL i.e. the Junior Drag rRacing League.
